I did NOT vote for Labour
Come to think of it, I never have

little-ginge

I voted for.... *mumbles*

form one - make 2 selections
form two - make 5 selections..

Took my dad with me and what did he do? ticked one box only

sti-04!!

I voted *NP

pslewis

And some pratt has given me an Infraction for THAT

Lee247

Contact Webby, it will probably be reversed. I see no need for it at all

pslewis

You miss the point completely!!

1,000's died so that you could vote ..... sadly that means getting up off your ****.

Go to the Polling Station, spoil your paper by writing "none of the above" across it and post it in the Ballot Box - at least you have registered your point of view and can therefore comment in the future on the political party whom you happen to want to have a go at!!

little-ginge

Ballot box? Ours was a plastic tuff crate with a hole hack sawed out of the middle..

little-ginge

I did notice in our polling station the signs saying... 'if you need help voting please see..blah blah blah..' next to it was one in Polish... sign of the times or what? Bleddy Labour

pslewis

A mod has had a falling out with me - clearly a very childish attempt to hit back

lol well it wasnt me that infracted you. and i wasnt aware that on a polling paper you can vote for nothing? il stay sat on my **** and help out the rain forests of brazil by not wasting paper

Abdabz

With the exception of the not voting comment, this post is genius Sums things up quite nicely...

Hi, Pete,

If you mean me then i thought we had a heated discussion and agreed to differ and no more than that, Come on it is only SN and it is not the real world now is it.

As for the infraction no, it was not me!

If you think it unjust then contact Shaun, Simon or Sammy.

BTW i did not vote at all, all candidates/policies lame and weak mho. You may say this is a wasted vote but little point in voting for someone/ploicies i do not believe in. Same applies for the general election at this moment in time.

thankyou

Leslie

That is very perspicacious of you to vote like that PSL. Oh dear I have used that word again!

I also agree that it is a "cop out" not to vote at all and does no good whatsoever.

each to their own, but im sticking to my opinion. i feel no need to vote, for the above mentioned reasons in earlier posts of mine in this thread.

Simon 69

It was a stupid post though wasnt it Pete?

Fuzz

Saves quote for the next time Choccy boy decides to have a moan about the police service/nhs/the government/bin collection/the environment/income tax/other stealth taxes/ the cost of fuel/the state of the economy.. ad infinitum

You love to beat him with that stick dont you bet your mortgaged up to your eyeballs . Only reason we could afford a house is because we bought in 97 when the average house price round here was 60k, no fecking way I could afford 190k these days for a house and neither could these smug ******* on here re mortgaged to their eyeballs to pay for their x 5's keep voting labour and your house price will rise forever

to be honest....

last time i was involved with the police, i didnt have pubes so thats not a consideration

nhs has never really let me down so far, but i have had no need for serious medical treatment - ie cancer etc.

everyone moans about the government anyway regardless of how bad they are

only me and the mrs so the bin never overflows in the two weeks we wait for emptying

sod the enviroment, il be dead before "the day of reckoning"

ok council tax is a joke, but every party will increase this above inflation... best of a bad bunch?

stealth taxes... elaborate on that one andy - examples needed

ok youve got me on fuel but again, any other party with its green taxes will tax the motorist to the hilt until were all on pretty pink bicycles with straw baskets attached to the front, and pink spreamers coming from the sides of the handlebars.

im not an economist, but there does seem to be more police sorting out the chavs these days round my area anyways. if not thats what god invented knuckles for.

infinitum? well im half your age so couldnt possibly be expected to know what that means as im too bothered about decats and modifications to my impreza.



all with a pinch of salt.

*disclaimer*
<due to working nights, i havent had much sleep last night from my working pattern buggering up my sleeping patterns. therefore my opinions of now and in 5 hours time (when im waiting for manchester united to thump the blue side on manchester), may differ considerably>

Leslie

This seems to me to be a particularly self centred and immature post if you really do think along those lines.

One day you may think differently, but at the moment you appear to have a totally irresponsible view on life.

Les

pslewis

Explain why?

The Infraction has actually been reversed ..... just interested why you think the post (and therefore my opinion) was stupid?

pslewis

Paul

Didn't mean you actually - you and I can have heated debates but I have never known you to be anything other than reasonable in your Moderation of the Forums

And yes, it isn't the real world ....... that said, I would miss not posting if banned

The Zohan

Cool, glad to hear it Pete!

I quite enjoy a bit of banter and appreciate your comments.

I didnt bother, for two reasons really.

1. I was tired, did a 14 hour shift and couldnt muster up the energy mainly because of reason 2.

2. who would I vote for anyway? there all going to put the price of tax up and fuel dutys, and do something to p155 me off, so if I didnt vote. lol

fair enough, your allowed your point of view. were not gonna agree to be honest. maybe the immature point of view is because im 22 and not in my mid 40s with 2.4 kids? maybe just maybe il mature in years to come.

think my original point has been disgarded here. i didnt vote and havent ever voted mainly because i feel the next bunch whoever get voted in will do as bad a job as labour are currently. the view points of several mature scoobynetters, ie you, pslewis etc, certainly wont change my mind via their keyborads either.

sorry im biting now arent i?

matchmaker

So did I

Leslie

No I don't think you are biting, you are entitled to give your views just like anyone else of course. I can understand your views about politicians in general and tend to mainly agree with you.

I meant that not voting at all does not do any good at all, you can vote in such a way that you send a message to all the major parties, ie that you don't think anything of their policies, or lack of them, and it is about time that they started to take notice of the electorate and governed for the sake of the country and not for themselves!

I may well be wrong but I thought that your post gave the impression that you were only interested in yourself and that you don't give a stuff for anyone else.

sometimes i think of no. 1, as in me and my fiance, and sometimes i think 'could i make a difference'. like what pete said in his post about voting for nobody, i didnt realise this and the fact its an option at showing your unrest on a voting poll. maybe next year, but i didnt really get anything through the post anyways regards voting. without scoobynet and the bnp poster i wouldnt know it was happening.

Leslie

Fair enough. I know how you felt about information about the candidates. It was the same here, only three of them bothered to send any leaflets to let us know about their thinking. As far as I was concerned, only the ones who let us know what their thinking was got any consideration as far as being voted for was concerned. Most of our local council candidates did not admit to their politics but in the County Council elections at least they did tell us which party they supported. We never got anyone come round to the doorstep to talk about it either. It just seems to me that many politicians treat the electorate with disdain and next time they may learn the lesson over that.

Yours might only be one vote Chocolate-but they all add up in the end.
